Load-shedding creating massive demand for battery backup systems

Eskom load-shedding has once again caused a surge in demand for battery backup and solar power systems in South Africa, said Rubicon sales director Greg Blandford.

Local battery producers are working as fast as they can to keep up with demand, and Blandford said they are bringing hardware into South Africa as fast as they can.
 
Already struggled to buy UPS's, called all over the country and could only find two in stock in JHB, hectic.
 
Yup, a new batch of people have been sucked into this pit. Not understanding the long-term implications in terms of maintaining that backup UPS setup and batteries you spent R 5 000 to R 10 000 on. Once you install one of these systems, you MUST use it, ALL the time, not only when you have load shedding, otherwise the batteries will not last.

There is that word again!

Nissan Leaf recycled battery packs???? Huh? Anyone want to explain the logic behind this???
 
ESCOM death spiral is inevitable.
Giving people more options and pricing yourselves right out of the market.
 
Eskom is just a dead loss SOE, along with all the other SOE's. All thanks to our efficient, caring, hard working and honest government.
